To be the best leader, you must also be the strongest leader!

Sun Yi and his group then surrounded the Ice Dragon Pearl. There were a total of thirteen Nascent Soul stage weapon refiners present, five of whom were from the Buddhist sect.

The thirteen Nascent Soul stage cultivators stretched out their hands forward, unleashing a surge of immense magical power that enveloped the Ice Profound Dragon Pearl.

In the blink of an eye, the magical power of the thirteen Nascent Soul stage cultivators completely enveloped the Ice Profound Dragon Pearl, and then everyone began to refine it with all their might.

The Ice Dragon Pearl floated in the air, enduring the refining power from the surrounding immense magical energy, its surface still radiating an astonishing chill.

One hour, two hours, three hours...

Time passed slowly, and the Ice Profound Dragon Pearl seemed to remain unchanged. However, Sun Yi's powerful divine sense kept a close eye on the changes in the Ice Profound Dragon Pearl.

He keenly sensed that as they refined the Ice Dragon Pearl with all their might, subtle changes were actually taking place.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Suddenly, the Ice Profound Dragon Pearl, which was surrounded by everyone, trembled slightly. Sun Yi's keen senses detected that the Ice Profound Dragon Pearl had undergone obvious changes.

Their refining power seemed to have finally affected the white dragon shadow inside the Ice Profound Dragon Pearl. The blurry white dragon shadow seemed to suddenly open its eyes, and a faint dragon roar could be heard.

Suddenly, an extremely dangerous aura descended, as if something terrible was about to happen.

Without hesitation, Sun Yi unleashed his spatial power completely.

Certainly!

The immobilization spell was used directly on the Ice Profound Dragon Pearl, while at the same time a silver light enveloped the Nascent Soul stage cultivators around the Ice Profound Dragon Pearl.

Click!

The immobilization spell failed instantly, and then a terrifying chill that could freeze everything in the world erupted from the Ice Dragon Pearl.

At this critical moment, Sun Yi had already teleported away with the other Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

When they reappeared, they were already two thousand miles away. Sun Yi didn't dare to linger and continued to teleport away with everyone. He clearly felt a terrifying, icy power erupting behind him.

"Quickly, use the teleportation spell!"

Knowing that he couldn't run far with so many people, Sun Yi hurriedly instructed everyone to use teleportation talismans.

Zhang Ye and the others dared not be careless. They hurriedly took out teleportation talismans and crushed them. Sun Yi also took out a teleportation talisman and used it. The next moment, they disappeared from the spot.

When they reappeared, they had been teleported 100,000 miles away. However, because the teleportation talisman was used for random teleportation, they were scattered in different places.

At that moment, Sun Yi and the others all looked in the same direction. A white light shot into the sky, followed by a massive iceberg rising from the ground.

The iceberg was far away from the group and wasn't very noticeable at first, but it kept rising, growing wildly like a bamboo shoot.

"How are you all? Are you alright?" Sun Yi quickly contacted the others.

"I'm fine!"

"I'm fine too!"

"Thanks to our junior master, we are safe and sound!"

"That was too dangerous. If it weren't for our junior master's intervention, we would probably have been frozen in ice."

"Sect Leader, what should we do now?" Elder Zhang Ye asked.

"The power of this Ice Dragon Pearl has exceeded our expectations. Let's see how things go first. If it doesn't work, then we'll use the second plan."

"I'll use the monitoring system to check what's going on over there first." Sun Yi hurriedly used his privileges to take pictures of the iceberg's location using the high-definition satellite monitoring system and shared the live footage to the elders' group so that everyone could see it.

Sun Yi was also watching the live broadcast, and saw a huge ice peak appear in what was once a desert.

Surrounding this massive ice peak are smaller ice peaks, which stretch endlessly, forming a frozen mountain range.

The live broadcast showed that the cold air was still spreading outwards, and the frozen area was continuing to expand. In a short period of time, tens of thousands of miles around had become a mountain range of ice peaks.

"What terrifying cold air! This Ice Dragon Pearl is too powerful. No wonder it can form such a large ice region as the Endless Ice Plain!"

"This is merely activating the power of the Ice Profound Dragon Pearl, not truly unleashing its full potential. This power definitely surpasses that of a sixth-tier demonic artifact."

"Such powerful energy is probably beyond our ability to refine. According to the Ice Dragon Clan, they can only barely mobilize the power of the Ice Profound Dragon Pearl by relying on their possession of a trace of Ice Dragon bloodline, and they have no way to fully activate it."

"Perhaps only by reaching the Spirit Realm can we find a way to refine this Ice Dragon Pearl."

Everyone spoke up, but at this moment Sun Yi slowly said, "Have you all forgotten that our sect has a cultivator with dragon blood?"

“My second plan is to let Xiao Qi try it directly. Her dragon bloodline is even higher than that of the Ice Dragon Clan, so she might be able to activate this demonic artifact,” Sun Yi said, revealing his second plan.

"Sect Leader, why didn't you use the second plan from the beginning?" Elder Zhang Ye asked, somewhat puzzled.

“Of course I don’t want Xiao Qi to take the risk first. It would be best if we could refine it, but if we can’t, there won’t be too much danger,” Sun Yi explained.

"So we were all guinea pigs..."

Looking at the frozen world in the live stream, everyone was speechless. If Sun Yi hadn't controlled the power of space, they wouldn't have been able to escape at all.

"Alright, it's good that we need to call Xiao Qi back. Everyone, please go and attend to other matters."

Next, Sun Yi contacted Xiao Qi and summoned her back.

Sun Yi gave a general overview of the Ice Dragon Pearl, and finally left the decision of whether or not Xiao Qi was willing to try it to herself.

“Master, I’m willing to try.” Xiao Qi looked at Sun Yi with a determined gaze.

"Aren't you afraid of danger?" Sun Yi stared at Xiao Qi.

"Not afraid."

"Okay, with me by your side, there will be no danger. Let's go now."

Next, Sun Yi led Xiao Qi to the side of the largest ice peak. This ice peak was now ten thousand feet high, and Sun Yi and Xiao Qi looked like ants in front of it.

The chilling aura of the Ice Dragon Pearl had diminished, and the entire frozen mountain range had stabilized. Sun Yi's immense divine sense swept out and directly located the area where the Ice Dragon Pearl was.

The Ice Dragon Pearl was suspended inside a mysterious ice cave within the ice peak, its chill already contained.

Sun Yi teleported directly to the side of the Ice Profound Dragon Pearl with Xiao Qi. Xiao Qi stared at the pearl in front of her and felt a familiar aura emanating from it.

"This is the Ice Profound Dragon Pearl, a high-grade demonic artifact containing extremely powerful cold energy. Try to refine it; the refining process is very difficult, so be careful. I'm by your side, so don't worry. I'll take you away if there's any danger," Sun Yi solemnly instructed Xiao Qi.
